They are awesome tractors. The power steering is not what most other brands had gone to by then, it's adequate but not great. The brakes get a bad rep but are similar to other brands at the time. If they are in good shape they work well. Crack the drain plug and check for antifreeze in the oil. The most common engine failure on those is o-rings on the sleeves getting hard and leaking.
Those can be either a dry clutch or case-o-matic. Both are better than anything else out at the time. The dry clutch is larger than most brands with well over 100hp, so they hold up well. The case-o-matic can only be damaged by running low on oil. If it's a com they take some learning to get used to them, but most that do learn think they are great units. It's basically the same system as a car or pickup with an auto transmission only everything works manually. And they last forever as long as the don't run low on oil. They do tend to grind gears a bit, just make sure all shifting is done at very low idle. And always start at idle and add gas to go. Once moving pull the com lever and it will lock and pull like a dry clutch. Then when need for power or to slow shift back to com.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
